Questions about Prof. Figure/Fitness Model's Diets

Seems easier to keep yourself in condition than to have to yo-yo back and forth.

That's how I feel too.

You got your picture taken with Alicia Denson? She always looks awesome in magazines.

Yup I did, she's funny as hell, actually that pic is in my gallery too.

And she is 1 of the girls that looks as good as she does in the magazines in person.

But TRUE competitors need an off season. Not fitness models, but COMPETITORS. During this off season, they usually look to add muscle. They do this in order to place higher - of course, this depends on the federation. It is very difficult to add muscle without adding some fat ..... even on AAS it can be hard.

ALso, think of the insane dieting and training these ladies go through to get to a comp - they simply cannot maintain this year round. When they let the diet relax a little, and the training, then fat gain is bound to happen.

Not to mention, the destruction they do to their metabolism. Talk to Sassy about that - she dealt with this.

Extreme dieting, extreme training, and THEN add drug use - can play havoc on one's metabolism.

Optimally if you need to cut regularly (e.g. "career competitor"), they recommend you stay w/in 15 lbs of your goal weight & 5% bf so you don't go thru those extreme swings. The male pros go crazy off season-- ever see King Kamali off seaons?? Ronnie?? LEE PRIEST?? Nutso. Those guys will PAY for those weight swings in the future. But as Daisy said, my experience, if you go thru severe weight swings that you don't anticipate over short periods of time, these screw w/ your brain & your attitude (thus your well-being) and also your body may just decide it isn't go to play that game any more & just shut you down. The harder you try to achieve where you think you should be mentally but aren't geting those results, the more you start over training and worrying and then you are double-fucking yourself.

Your show is in July? I read your question to Chefy with some advice about wine and glycerin. (Can't find it now) Could you tell me what they'll do for you? (besides boosting bikini confidence levels at showtime.)

 

[Sassy69]

The glycerin component is new to me, but red wine is a diuretic & gets you more vascular for show time.

For me the "lessening the inhibitions" (i.e. getting loaded) was the more valuable result.

Glycerol mixed in water creates a drawing effect...it pulls sub-q water into the muscle bellies...its tricky and needs to be practiced as with any contest prep...Ive tried it and it impoved my vascularit by 50%...but you have to be LEAN for it to work....

inw - visible abs.....



otherwise, the water will be drawn but the fat will remain
